I was born in a small town in Southern Arizona and the majority of my childhood was spent in Tucson. After high school, I went to Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA, where I graduated with two BAs in Theatre (acting, directing) and Sociology (social injustice, intimate relationships.) I then moved to India to teach social and emotional skills through Theatre and Dance with Artists Striving to End Poverty. I worked with them again in Florida, the Philippines, and New York City before I landed in Washington D.C. Six years ago, I moved to Seattle. There I worked as a nonprofit administrator, freelance teaching artist, actor, intimacy director, and choreographer. I am the founder and lead producer for the storytelling event and podcast she is FIERCE: stories from the female and genderqueer perspective, and a founding member of HERON ensemble, a multidisciplinary theatre collective. After spending some time in NYC, I now split time between Seattle and Los Angeles. When I am not working, you can find me spending time with my chosen and biological family, in a kayak or on a mountain, in a dance class, or cuddled up on my couch with my kitten and partner. Ways I identify include: biracial / mixed race, Latine or Latinx / Cuban / Hispanic, white / American, Queer, pansexual/bisexual, and as a cisgender woman.
